🛍 Welcome to my ‘B’ shop! 🛍
.
I’ve been playing shops in my speech therapy sessions recently to support children with their speech sound production.
.
It’s a great activity to help focus on a specific sound as there are plenty of opportunities to use a sound over and over again!
.
You can set this up at home with your little ones to encourage sound awareness and production!
.
Take it in turns to be the shopkeeper or the customer and add things to your B-ag or B-asket! B-eep things through the check out that you want to B-uy! .
This is easily adapted for other sounds that you’d like to focus on 👍💛☺️

Set up a perfect play space. Coloured rice - beach, water and grass. Before play, then after. Was so perfect. Sends my OCD side mad lol lol glad they loved playing tho. It was a dinosaur 🦕 land and then a fairy beach adventure. Love their imaginations. 🙌

Every week of camp at the Growing Tree has a different theme! Last week was boating week! The kids had so much fun learning about different types of boats, making boat related art projects, and so much more !

Made these last night for fun. They are not perfect but so far they are a success. I love peg dolls because you can literally glue anything to them and paint them how ever you want. These were so much fun to make :) and they are perfect for #openendedplay

#MyFirstEmotions has been created to help children 0-3 years old learn to identify their own emotions and begin to empathise with others, leading to better relationships, academic achievement and essential life skills.
We all have emotions but children are not born knowing what their feelings are or how to cope with them. As a parent, you will be able to respond to your child’s emotions in a positive way, set boundaries, deal with problematic behaviour constructively, and foster a healthy emotional environment within the home.
What’s inside the box?
- Robbie the Rabbit puppet
- 5 illustrated storybooks
- 5 emotion toys
- 30 story cards
- Songs and music
- An activity book
- A parent’s guide
Developing emotional understanding from an early age equips children with practical coping tools to deal with emotional issues, shaping how children approach everyday life pressures as they grow into adults. Young children raised this way learn how to identify and manage their emotions, as well as developing an understanding of the feelings of others.
We have sold more than 5000 copies of My First Emotions in worldwide and now it's coming to the #UK !

My kid loves to climb and is completely fearless. I cant even watch her crazy stunts while at the playground😮 My thinking was...climber, coordinated, and fearless...she would have fun doing parkour! Talking with the coaches at the gym I've been learning more about the sport. It's a brilliant way to not only learn how to move and become more aware of your body, but train your brain. Pretty much learning through play!.
.
I also got to play as an option at her class (adults and kids did different things)... but we all climbed high, scaled down walls, bounded from one object to the next, jumped from high ledges, and balanced on poles all the while trying to do so it the most efficient and effortless way. I was totally out of my element but had so much fun trying to figure out how to use my body to do all these things! I'm not sure I've used certain parts of my body and brain in a loooong time😂.
.
This will be so fun adding this to our week not just as a way to bond with the kid but as an awesome way to cross train to gain more hip mobility, upper body strength (hip flexors and triceps are already sore!), and better proprioception.
.
Always find new ways to challenge yourself! Finding ways of wearing your kid out at the same time is a bonus😉.
.
Maybe I'll get some action shots soon😜

Doing the important work of childhood. // It feels as though his big sister has exploded into a different chapter of childhood all the sudden. Now that she is 8 she is suddenly finding more friends, off on more play dates and exploring a bit of independence. He is struggling a bit with feeling left behind, left out, and is desperate to keep up. I'm adamant about the early years being about being home, keeping things simple and keeping the focus on family rather than peers. There's some tension and I struggle with knowing whether my instincts are right. But this quiet, contented play is always a good indication that all is well on the home front.

The process to create these was incredible..the kids first prepped the fabric by soaking them in water and tying rubber bands on...Then we had endless fun mixing and experimenting with colors...in the process we learnt about primary and secondary colors...We then spent a happy hour dropping paint or sponging it on to create vibrant pops of color...what fascinated us was each child used the same paints but each pencil case is unique...This was such a relaxing process...there's something so therauputic about blending colors and watching the tie die process take place.

Just as babies learn to sit, crawl and then walk, before they can read they must learn to focus their eyes and understand that each picture is associated with a word. High contrast, black-and-white images are the perfect way to get your child noticing the world around them. | #OneHundredToys
